Judge Cooley Explains the Grounds ON
Which In WaS SnAnended.

CHICAGO, April 13.-Judge T. NJ. Cooley chair
man OF the Interstate Commerce Commission is
In the city engaged in settling up his accounts as
receiver OF the Wabash Railway In conversation
with reporter OF a local paper regarding the re-
cent action OF the Commission in Suspendinc the
operation OF the long and short haul section the
new law TOT the roads in the southern Railway
and steamship Association, which has called forth
so much unfavorable notice Judge Cooley said
the arguments presented by the various roads.
came to the conclusion that Justice required that
they should move slowly Oh a question OF such
great Importance, and that they should not
take action that world be definite and
final in its effects without first making
themselves fully acquainted with the situation.
IhlS was deemed particularly Important, be-
cause the law Went Into effect so soon after the
appointment OF the Commission and the railroads
nad nardy tne TO adapt their tariffs and rules TO
accord with the provisions OF the new law. The
Commission, he said, did not recognize the South
ern Railway and steamship Association, as had
been claimed, but based its action upon tie indi-
vidual arguments presented by the representa-
tiyeS OF the various roads I'm that association es-
pecially the Louisville, Nashville, East Tennessee.
Virginia and Georgia, and other leading Southern
roads. The claim that the Commission erred In
extending the order TO all southern roads south OF
the Ohlo River, and east of the Mississippi River
ne did not think held good as not only the compe-
ution by the steamship lines had to be taken Into
consideration, but also the competition by
the Mississippi River and other southern nayi-
gable rivers. He did not think any in
justice was done TO the roads this side of the
Ohlo River by granting temporary relief TO the
southern roads. To change the rates to conform
with the new law by the roads in this part OF the
country was but tritiing compared with the
changes necessary by the roads il, The South, and
decision that they must conform with the long
and short haul section OF the law without afford
Ing them reasonable time TO do Sd might have
subjected them TO serious trouble And loss II the
commission tnds, upon personal Investigation,
that no good cause exists Tor giving the Southern
roads, or any other roads, the privie re OF making
special through rates 10 meet alleged water COM
petition, IL would at once compel la lSe roads TO
conform strictly with the provisions OF the long
and short haul section. He also stsii eS that the
commission would not tolerate any dis criInin nation
on the part OF the Southern roads against the
merchants in Western Cities As re.-aris other
problems to be solved by the Commits Ion Judge
Cooley could not express himself. rs those QueS-
uonS had not yet come up for consideration.

The district attorney selected the case Of the ss

This affidavit rec1ted the difficulties of himself
and counsel in procuring his witnesses some OF

some Of these were material to his Defense as they
would testify to threats made by Wilmott ante
riOr to the shooting.
District Attorney Merthington opposed any
defendant had full notice and had agreed to the
case being set down for trial to-day.
Judge Chapman replied, stating that the ac-
cused was here without witnesses, but from no
fault OF his own He was as eager for the trial as
was the prosecution, but wished for q few days
delay.
The court said it was well settled that an afri-
davft for pOstponement must show the names OF
witnesses, and indicate the materiality of their
testimony, and he thought the afidav1t met the
requirements. 1t was true that there was some
uncertainty as to the court going on, although the
judges had no idea OF closing the court while
criminals were waiting in jail for trial He there
for granted the motion.
